Season of Mist are proud to announce the signing of LICE. The brand new avant garde black metal outfit, including members of SHINING and TEITANBLOOD, will release their brand new album, ‘Woe Betide You,’ on May 10. The first song, “Layers of Dirt,” can be heard HERE.
LICE comment on the signing: “Lo and behold! For there is an overflowing feeling of feverish joy in the LICE mine as the one and only Season of Mist took the required steps that finally allow us to move forward with mercurial charm from the incubation stage to scorn torrent holocaust upon all things human, and will responsibly amplify and nobly deliver our wise chants of decay to every corner and hole of this magnificent planet.”
‘Woe Betide You’ can be pre-ordered in various formats HERE.

The cover artwork for ‘Woe Betide You’, created by Timo Ketola, can be viewed together with the album details below.
LICE deliver exactly what is needed in the current metal scene: Painful Honesty. They mercilessly drag you into an abyss of nightmares and twisted meanings. ‘Woe Betide You’ revolves around timeless topics such as the stunning beauty of decomposition, the everlasting wisdom of the murderer´s knife, the nauseating stench of sex, the mask behind the mirror, the endangered longevity of the well-intentioned sociopath and the soothing devastation of loneliness.
Little is known about the activities of this uneven collective except that Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING) and J (TEITANBLOOD), two fearsome monsters of wise demeanour, became astonished to find such ferocity in the other´s eyes and decided to organize the hunting party right then and there. Not long after, smooth criminal-turned-guitarist Kirill Krowli was taken on board of the sinking vessel and the three Lice made a vow to submerge themselves in the bloody waters of madness with one noble mission: To inflict unbearable pain, misery and suffering upon the repellent creation of God…Woe betide you…
Their debut offering forces you to discover brand new solutions to the human flaw.
